use curl

Is it possible to use curl (or similar) to submit the .zip file to the roku? Trying to write batch file to automate some of the development work.

Re: use curl

Yes, check out the makefile in the videoplayer exmple; the 'install' target in this makefile uses curl to do this.

Re: use curl

Strange???

OS: Windows7

When I run the following curl command it only uploads 80 bytes. This is the same result as if I were doing a form post with the input=file set to input=text.

curl -s -S -F "mysubmit=Install" -F "archive=C:\Users\me\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\TestApp.Roku\test2.zip" -F "passwd=" http://192.168.1.77/plugin_install

What I would really like to do is do an httpRequest in C# but the named input field is causing the server to respond with input field not found. Anyone get this upload to work in .NET?

Re: use curl

nevermind. Figured this out. Needed the @ in front of the filename

curl -s -S -F "archive=@C:\Temp\test2.zip" -F "mysubmit=Replace" -F "passwd=" http://192.168.1.77/plugin_install
